Early Life:

Willie Jess Robertson was born on the 22nd of April 1972 to Phil and Marsha Kay Robertson. The third child of the pair, Willie has two older brothers, Alan and Jase, one younger sister, Phyllis, and one younger brother, Jep. Like his father, Willie was into hunting from a young age and accompanied his father to the winds. Of all the Robertson children, Willie was the one who was most interested in the family business and spent a considerable amount of time learning about duck calling and hunting. After graduating from a local high school, Willie enrolled at Harding University but transferred to NE Louisiana University, at a later date. He graduated in 2014, with a business degree.

Professional Career:

Right after graduating from University, Will made the trip back to his hometown and began assisting his father in running the business. His business degree proved to be an asset to the company, and Phil left the leadership position to his son. After taking over his father, Will expanded the family business from a living room operation to a multi-million-dollar enterprise and destination for all things outdoors. This growth helped the Robertsons to secure a reality TV show, Duck Dynasty.

While Will is most known as the CEO of the Duck Commander, he is also the founder and CEO of a subsidiary company Buck Commander. The company is also at the center of a reality TV series under the same name produced by Under Armour on the Outdoor Channel.

His other business includes 4 Bears Music Group, Robertson Brothers Farm, WK Properties, Back 40 Properties, Commander Services Co, Commerce Street Holdings, WKR Investments, and more.

Television:

Over the years, Will appeared on several television shows related to his family business and his personal beliefs. He appeared in Duck Commander from 2009 to 2011, which became the base for the new show, Duck Dynasty. Will stayed for the entire run of the series from 2012 to 2017. Will also appeared in the series Buck Commander from 2010 to the present.

He has also made cameo appearances on other shows, such as Last Man Standing and the Christian film God’s Not Dead, with his wife. He has also been a guest of United States Representative Vance McAllister at the 2014 State of the Union Address by President Barack Obama. He has also been interviewed by Conan O’Brien on his show CONAN. He has also produced a Christian Broadway-style play called His Story.
